Lately, I’m holding both awe and ache at the same time.

I’m witnessing the beauty of birth…
and feeling the weight that comes with life.
I’m celebrating pregnancy announcements,
while knowing some women are quietly carrying deep longing for the same joy.

As a doula, I’m often witnessing the sacred space between heaven and earth. In between prayer and pain, surrender and strength. Standing near the veil, where God’s presence feels closest.

Women amaze me with their incredible strength.
This journey is not easy, but we persevere.
We keep showing up, trusting, hoping, and loving no matter what.

If this season feels heavy for you, know this:
God sees you.
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted.” Psalm 34:18
He is not absent in the waiting, the grief, or the unanswered prayers.
God is present.
He is working in ways we cannot yet see.

You are not forgotten.
You are not alone.
And your story is held in His hands. 🤍

“The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.”
John 1:5 🕯️

How many hours did you labor for?

Breast milk and “cold season” go hand in hand. 🤒 When the germs start flying, your milk becomes the most protective thing in the house. The second you or your baby are exposed to something, your body starts making targeted antibodies that show up in your breast milk almost immediately. That means every feed is delivering immune support, comfort, hydration, and protection all at once.

So yes, keep nursing through the sniffles, the coughs, the “why is everyone sick again” moments. Your milk literally adjusts to what your baby needs. It’s not just food… it’s active immune protection in real time. ❄️🤱🏼
